Sorry for mental health kind of question, but I do not know better place to ask about this stuff.
Nowadays, I lie down on a bed and just watch twitch streams all day, with a little bit of browsing lemmy in between. I do not want to do anything, pretty much any activity seems to cause exhaustion. So, I just do bare minimum and return to bed, watching twitch for over 5 hours.
Another is that I feel I cannot do anything good enough. I cannot study effectively, cannot do menial tasks without being stressed. This is especially concerning for me because I am taking a graduate program, but I also doubt I could do any kind of real work. I just don’t think I have capability to read complicated texts and remember it clearly, write a decent piece of literature on some subject, or just about anything at all.
Is this related to addiction - can addiction make me feel exhausted all the time? Also, how can I escape this permanent lethargy? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
It definitely sounds like depression. But depending on what your addiction is to, there could be some overlap in symptoms which could make it hard to isolate.
For what it’s worth, it also sounds similar to what some people experience with long covid/brain fog. If these feelings are relatively new, and you’ve tested positive for covid in the past, that could also be worth giving consideration to, as I’m pretty sure this is affecting a lot of people who may not even realize how severe their conditions are yet.
